OK, I'm going to go see if I can bleach out some of the Envious as HE## Green now...



Well Greg, it was YOUR recommendation a month or so ago (I have it in writing on the 'A Greek Tragedy' thread) so I just thought I would PM you from there (Tambosi's) to ... thank you!
By the way, you were absolutely right both about Tambosi's and Odeonplatz.

Not to rub it in even more but here are some pictures ...


The front side of Luigi Tambosi's Cafe:




The rear side (garden):




The menu (nothing really special but what was there was great!):






Like I said previously, this is not the ride report but here are some pictures of the bike in different locations.


This is on the highway just after the Brenner pass nearing Innsbruck in Austria.




The next two are in Munich:






This is a beauty I thought I would include:

Dave, just as I left the centre (Munich) for the hotel an hour or so ago it started pouring down and I got soaked. I hope this doesn't continue tomorrow ...



Simmer + Oldroadie,

Yes I am having a great time with good company. I have done numerous long trips in my time
but this one so far is one of the best.
It's also several little things that have cropped up that have contributed immensely (some are hilarious - wait for ride report).
In this sense I consider myself both lucky and blessed.

Spiderfox,

I cant really comment on the touring seat as mine has 0.5cm extra padding (foam) added prior to it being covered in leather.
It does bring the driver about an inch forward as opposed to the standard Speedy seat.
I do however, get small complaints about the footpeg location (a little too high and too far back I think - I'll check again tomorrow as Kathy's sleeping right now - it's nearly 03:00 am here).
The tank-bag is a Clover - Wagon 06 and has 4 magnets which bearly attach properly because of the fuelcap console etc. I have attached velcro strips just for extra security and have had no problems.

Finally, I am hoping to visit the BMW headquarters and museum in the morning to take as many pictures as possible (if the museum is open as it was supposedly closed until recently for rennovations - hopefully it is now operational).
I suspect they have a history of all models displayed etc., which of course I intend to photograph.

What do you guys say, any interest to put them on here?
